1 Thessalonians 3
1 WHEREFORE when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
Saka zvatakange tisisagoni kutsunga, takati zvakanaka kuti tisiiwe tiri tega paAtene,
2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
ndokutuma Timotio hama yedu nemushumiri waMwari nemushandi pamwe nesu muevhangeri yaKristu, kuti akusimbisei, nekukunyaradzai maererano nerutendo rwenyu,
3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
kuti kurege kuva neumwe anozununguswa nematambudziko awa, nokuti munoziva momene kuti takamisirwa izvozvi.
4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
Nokuti kunyange tichinemwi, takagara takuudzai kuti tava kuzotambudzwa, kunyange sezvazvakaitika, nemwi munoziva.
5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
Nekuda kweizvozviwo zvandakange ndisisagoni kutsunga, ndakamutuma kuti ndizive rutendo rwenyu, zvimwe pamwe muidzi wakakuidzai, basa redu rikava pasina.
6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
Asi zvino Timotio wakati asvika kwatiri achibva kwamuri, wakatipira mashoko akanaka erutendo rwenyu nerudo, uye kuti mune murangariro wakanaka pamusoro pedu nguva dzese, muchishuva zvikuru kutiona, sesuwo imwi;
7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
nekuda kwezvizvi takanyaradzwa, hama, pamusoro penyu padambudziko redu rese nenhamo nerutendo rwenyu;
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
nokuti ikozvino tinorarama, kana imwi mumire makasimba muna Ishe.
9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
Nokuti kuvonga kwakadini kwatingagona kuripira kuna Mwari pamusoro penyu, nemufaro wese watinofara nawo nekuda kwenyu pamberi paMwari wedu?
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Siku nesikati tichinyengetera zvikurusa kuti tione chiso chenyu, tizadzise zvakataira parutendo rwenyu.
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
Zvino dai Mwari pachake naBaba vedu, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu aruramisira nzira yedu kwamuri;
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
uye dai Ishe akukurisai nekukuwanzirai rudo umwe kune umwe nekune vese, sesuwo kwamuri,
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
kuti asimbise moyo yenyu isingamhuriki pautsvene pamberi paMwari, uye Baba vedu, pakuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu pamwe nevatsvene vake vese.
